1. Introduction
[2] Classically, two hypotheses could be used for treating aerosol mixing state in climate models. The most common approach is the external way, in which each particle consists of only one chemical substance. The other one consists in modeling aerosol optical properties by using the internal mixture (all particles contain a mixture of species from each of the sources), which could in turn be divided in two representations: the "pure homogeneous" and the "core-shell" one. The treatment of the mixing state of particles into climate models has crucial impacts [Satheesh et al., 2006a, 2008] especially concerning black carbon (BC) aerosols as coating on BC particles can enhance their absorption of solar radiation [Jacobson, 2000; Mikhailov et al., 2006], with large impacts on the semi-direct aerosol effect by modifying cloud properties and boundary layer evolution [Ackerman et al., 2000; Feingold et al., 2005].
[3] Up to now, most of global models describe aerosols as externally mixed although some recent works have shown that a core-shell treatment of particles should be more realistic, leading to significant differences in aerosol optical properties, compared to externally or internally homogeneous mixed states. Jacobson [1999] reported that for a model in which particles are treated in 'core shells' mixing approach agrees well with surface irradiance observations at Riverside and Claremont (USA). Over Asia, Satheesh et al. [2006b] reported that assuming aerosols in core-shells form (BC in shell and dust in core) improve considerably the comparisons between observed and simulated surface irradiances. Chandra et al. [2004] and Dey et al. [2008] have shown that over tropical Indian Ocean and during the summer monsoon season, model and observations agree well in cases of dust particles coated with BC.
[4] This work consists to infer the most probable mixing state of aerosols over the European continent by using an optical constrain [Mallet et al., 2005]. The principle of this study is to compute aerosol column-averaged SSA from CHIMERE model simulations [Bessagnet et al., 2004] for three different mixing states: internally homogeneous, core-shell and external and to compare them with SSA issued from AERONET retrievals [Dubovik et al., 2000; Holben et al., 1998]. This work is focused on the European region, where few studies about the treatment of the particle mixing have been conducted in spite of the presence of different aerosol species.
[5] We emphasize on the heat wave of summer 2003, corresponding to large concentrations of absorbing BC and secondary (sulfates, nitrates, secondary organics) aerosols over Europe. Such climate conditions observed during summer 2003 and associated with intense wildfires over the Mediterranean region are expected to become more frequent in a future warmer climate [Moriondo et al., 2006].

Our cover story on virtual-training applications such as Second Life might cause some readers to scratch their heads and say, "Wha…?" I probably count myself among you.
So I put a few questions to FCW News Editor Michael Hardy, a longtime resident of Second Life, to help explain the appeal of this 3-D animated world. Of course, because he's in the office adjacent to mine, we conducted the following conversation by instant messenger:
Q: How would you explain what Second Life is in a phrase?
A: Awesome.
Q: I mean to someone who has no idea what you're talking about.
A: Second Life is an immersive 3-D virtual world, with most of its content — objects, buildings, avatars, gadgets and animations — created by its users. Almost anything you can do in real life — and many things you can't — you can do a virtual version of in Second Life.
Q: What makes it better than, say, webinars, for training seminars and conferences?
A: The sense of presence. Of actually being together in the same place with the other participants.
Q: But isn't it hard to relate with someone who looks like a centaur?
A: Well, maybe. But people who are using it responsibly for business purposes should save the centaur look for their personal time.
Q: Isn't it hard to learn how to manipulate your avatar?
A: I don't think so, but that may be a function of familiarity. People who already play computer games have a grasp of using the keyboard to control things, and have an easier time of it than people who haven't done that. SL controls are not complicated.
Q: How long did it take you to get good at it?
A: For me, it was only a couple of hours. But then, I'd been playing "Doom" and other PC games for years, and it's not any different.
Q: What makes it so inviting to actually spend time in? I've seen it, and signed up and spent a couple hours with it. I thought being able to fly across the Grand Canyon was pretty cool. But what is the psychic phenomenon behind this?
A: Well, I think the appeal of it for group meetings is that you can feel like you're all in the same place even though you're not. The visual cues create a really effective illusion. I can't say if it has that effect on everyone. A lot of people might find it distracting. But I have taken part in online message boards and other social fora for years, and never felt that sense of proximity. In terms of imparting information, I don't know that it's any more effective. In terms of having scattered people feel that they're still part of a team, I think it could help for that.

Of additional benefit are the sections on how to work with different types of people. I find that being a Red/Blue/Introvert, it's quite natural to have differences with my Gold/Green/Extrovert colleague. More importantly, it gives me some tips as to how my co-worker thinks, what they find important and how to deal with them. Even if it sounds crazy to me.
I also like that the occupational descriptions are very up-to-date, something that I find lacking in most career matching books or on-line tests. I have already recommended this book to several of my friends.
This is Myers-Briggs light; easier to understand than the standard four letter system. It's also more weighted toward application than theory, making it immediately useful, especially for Red/Blues who have little patience with something that doesn't yield some immediate results!
What's more is the fact that this book will help you understand what your skills and talents are and help you figure out what type of career/industry would the most ideal for you to be able to enhance your skills and add value to the organization.
Overall, I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to succeed, not only in the business/professional arena, but in personal relationships as well. You will learn to be more observant and react towards people the best way the message would get across to him/her. Get the book and you will see!
In my case, I took the Myers-Briggs test a couple times early on after college and it really didn't help me. After taking the test I also read a number of the different 16 personality types and thought they applied equally well to me. There were any different career options for each personality type that I really didn't end up with any sort of focus. Because I didn't think to try another style of test, I went along in a finance career for over ten years that I really didn't find fully engaging.
Thankfully, in my thirties I did end up finding another book (Discover What You're Best At by Linda Gale) that hit the nail on the head for me. As a result of this and another test by Johnson O'Connor I went back to school to become an industrial engineer and I love what I do. Also, if you want to spend more, the top career testing outfit in the country is called Johnson O'Connor (which is not for profit) does a great job and also identified my current career. While the price is high, the investment you make in your career is far greater.
The reason I bought this book is because I wanted to help a young person find some direction and I bought it. After reading through this and taking the personality test, this didn't come close to identifying the career I'm in now. The Myers-Briggs test is just too general and doesn't provide much guidance.
If this book and the Myers-Briggs test work you you, great. If not, try other types of tests. It is well worth the effort.
The bonus is that "Career Match" is fun to use, fun to read...and the words that the author uses to describe each different personality style can be immediately incorporated into the reader's own vocabulary about him/herself. Job seekers needs accurate words to describe their strengths; this book provides them, and makes the difference between applicants who stumble when speaking about themselves, and articulate, confident applicants. The "Career Match" 10-minute exercises are the fastest and easiest to take and score, the results are unerringly correct, and the information is comprehensive for the job search and totally useful. Plus, the book doesn't resort to psycho-babble, and it doesn't depend upon having a certified consultant to interpret the results, so anyone can pick it up and immediately benefit from it. Cheers to Shoya Zichy and her co-author for putting together a completely enjoyable and marvelously helpful book!

Ferris (1092) Burnaby, British Columbia | March 2, 2015
Nice weird, large and very dated run down place that gets wicked busy right on the water. Nice views if you are facing the right way. Service is dependent on where you sit, who is serving and how busy it is. Mine ranged from walk our to exorbitant tip in one sitting. Good selection of beers and good priced taster flight with some nice and rare occasional guest taps. I didnt eat, but people around me were raving. A good stop with very average beer.
mcberko (736) Vancouver, British Columbia | December 22, 2014
Really cool rather big place right on the water, with an epic view of the water. This place actually gets my vote for best brewery in town, ahead of Ft. George. The beer quality was certainly above average, with several beers -- mostly the IPAs -- being quite excellent. Prices are very reasonable for a sampler tray. Service is very attentive. Really a lovely place.
Harley_Biker (10) Sheldon, Illinois | September 23, 2013
Found this place while on vacation. Great views of the river. Good standard pub food and a decent variety of tasty brews available.
JoeMcPhee (531) Toronto, ON, Ontario | October 2, 2012
A dark but large place with a very impressive view of the harbour. Sort of an odd layout with a small bar in the middle, a large seating area near the windows/patio up front and then a hidden/dank smaller pub room that was hidden in back of the bar. Also includes a fairly tacky gift shop area that really made no sense at all. Service was perfunctory and the beer was actually pretty poor (although reasonably priced). If youre in town youd do better to stick to Fort George.
BOLTZ7555 (88) Phoenix, Arizona | March 23, 2012
A little older and dusty...playful but gimmicky place with fun waitstaff that made the family forget we went out of our way to visit a beer place for me. Food was solid...beer was aggressive. Enjoyed it!
savnac (284) Anchorage, Alaska | August 3, 2011
Big, slightly dingy old place right on the river with nice views. Service was odd, not very friendly and the two bartenders didnt really know much about beer and ended up giving out miss-information. Selection of beer was pretty good, a nice variety of beers including a really great Kolsch. Just ordered a salad and soup but they were both very good. Value about average to slightly high, but I guess you are paying for the view. Overall a decent place that I would probably go back to if I was in town but wouldnt go out of my way for.

My husband and I had always been fans of the Wet Dog, for years. So I arranged to have his 60th birthday party there on July 22, 2011. Too small a table, not enough chairs. We asked for more chairs and were refused. Some of the more assertive members of the party saw that there were un-used chairs by the kitchen entrance and grabbed a couple of those. The host/manager came over and told us to stop. We asked if we could get another table moved closer (more people were joining us all the time) and were told no due to fire restrictions. Made no sense. Host comes over to me and sticks his face in mine and says, rudely, "From this minute on, I will speak to no one at this table but you!" Several people cancelled their food orders, others did eat, but the restaurant lost money on us. I figure about 200 dollars. A very large group left at a row of nearby tables and we then asked if we could move there....we were told no, and that we could only have leftover tables. The whole rest of the time we were there NO ONE sat at those tables! Plus instead of letting my party sit there in a row they pushed the tables apart. Over 2/3rds of the restaurant was empty by this time. By this time I felt like I was in the Twilight Zone. We were also told that any chairs we borrowed took money quotas away from the servers working the tables...but the place was emptying out, so that was gibberish too. One of my guests asked the hosts name as he and his wife were leaving, and the man said "Are you threatening me?!" Also, our server, who was sweet as pie, asked that we feel free to complain, evidently this person is just as rude, arrogant, autocratic and dictatorial to them as he was to us, his customers. He treated us as though we were indigent, second-class citizens, and it was very much "my way or the highway". He lost my business as well as over 30 others that were there and all our friends and family that will hear the story. Thanks for reading this long review......beware the Wet Dog. Whats really sad is that 99% of the time the food is great, though the service is usually very slow. There were more incidences but these are the highlights. Perhaps tourists are treated better.

2010-06. Visited on a Monday evening for a snacky dinner last June, they have a nice view overlooking the water. Bit of a ghetto entrance along the boardwalk but once inside it is cavernous and full of paraphernalia to absorb. We tried a 5-sampler but there were about a dozen on tap to choose from, most were pretty solid and I especially enjoyed the Poop Deck Porter. We ate the clam chowder with a side of warm bread and beer dog on a stick, both quite tasty. Service was friendly and fairly quick. Would return, given the opportunity.

(Visited 02/2010): Astoria Brewing/Wet Dog Cafe is located right on the water on Marine Drive and 11th in Astoria. Street parking is available nearby. The exterior allows for a peek at some of the brewing equipment. Inside the place is spacious with a gift shop right inside the entrance offering glassware, clothes, knickknacks and food. From there the bar is on the right and displays all the available beers on a long chalkboard right above it. The rest of the space is devoted to seating. There is also an adjacent room that seems to be devoted to games. Nice collection of license plates from all over the country along with kitschy signs. Great view of the marina from any of the tables along the windows. Good music in the background too. The beer selection is decent. Astoria carries 10-11 beers including one or two seasonals. The beers are available in a sampler of 5 and range from Blonde and Pilsener all the way to a Double IPA, Imperial Stout and Strong Ale. All the beers are at least average with a couple being pretty good. Service on a weekday early afternoon was good. Our server knew about all their beers and even pointed us to the other brewpub in town. Lunch was good although it came down to sharing a giant nacho appetizer. No complaints there. Overall this place may not have world class beers but the location and atmosphere make this a no-brainer for a visit to Astoria, especially when the weather is nice.

US Secretary of State John Kerry said Friday that North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un would be making a "huge" mistake in pushing ahead with an expected missile launch at a time of soaring tensions.
"If Kim Jong-Un decides to launch a missile, whether it's across the Sea of Japan or any other direction, he will be choosing wilfully to ignore the entire international community," Kerry told reporters in Seoul.
"It will be a huge mistake for him to do that because it will further isolate his country," Kerry said, adding that North Koreans want food, not a leader "who wants to flex his muscles".

How OR Nurses and other Surgical Jobs Benefit from Team Building
Studies show that using safety techniques from the aviation industry may be the answer
According to a study based on surgical teams from hospitals around the country, safety techniques—similar to ones used by the aviation industry—cut death rates from surgery by an astounding 18%. This is compelling news for those in operating room nurse jobs and other healthcare professionals in med surg jobs, interested in the benefits of teamwork.
Known as "briefings" in the airline industry, the meetings are conducted before and after each flight, so that crews can anticipate and prepare for potential and/or future safety hazards. In a healthcare setting, "briefings" aided surgical teams in making important discoveries about the specifics of each patient's illness or condition prior to and after each surgical procedure.
Checklists are a Must for Team Building in Surgical jobs
The aviation industry doesn't like surprises and either should operating room nurses and professionals in med/surg jobs. So what kinds of tactics are being used to eliminate surprises, and strengthen professional relationships among the operating room team?
- Operating room nurses are asked (to learn) to recognize red flags
- Med surg and OR nurses are expected to challenge colleagues should safety risks come up
- Operating room nurses are expected to develop presurgical checklists
That last item on the bullet list resonated the most among med/surg and operating room nurses when research on check-lists appeared in a top selling book by Peter Pronovost, a doctor and safety advocate who wrote, Safe Patients, Smart Hospitals; proved using a checklist could prevent half of all surgical deaths.
Dr. Pronovost raises the point that surgery and anesthesiology have a long-standing habit of focusing on the technical; they often fail to realize that some of the harm done in surgery is happening because of teamwork failure. Healthcare professionals in surgical jobs are well on their way to achieving goals from Pronovost's study by encouraging operating room nurses to keep an accurate and unambiguous medical chart on every patient.
Even in the advent of Health IT, when computers keep electronic files on patients, nurses must remember to "double-check" and adopt the mantra: " If you didn't chart it, it didn't get done ."
America's Top Hospitals Practice Many Different Tactics that Decrease Patient Mortality
At American Traveler we staff healthcare talent—which include travel nurses qualified in a wide range of specialties, from operating room and surgical jobs to other veins of graduate nursing—in hospitals consistently ranked by U.S. News & World Report. Awarded The Joint Commission Certification, our staffing agency works with hospitals that are committed to excellence in high quality patient care—continuously improving levels of service. Our travel nurses in med surg and operating room jobs can expect to work in facilities with lower nurse to patient ratios and enjoy a higher morale that put travel nurses on track to landing the ultimate travel nurse job; call us at 800-884-8788 or apply online today to see what we're talking about!

The version 6.1.3 come out:
Thank Dave for his fix of xml tag match performance issue and Anton for the fix of project panel.
all people have to go first on your Homepage to see what (small) fixes the Release brings. A Better way is to put the Changes in your mail ;-)
It would be better if Notepad + + is when you select "Save Session", not simply create xml-file, but would create a file in a specific format, which then itself be able to open without having to select "Open Session" but just as a link .
Define a custom extension for session files in Settings -> Preferences -> MISC. Then N++ will behave just like you said on files with such extension. Avoid .xml, because other confguration files that are not sessions have this extension.
This information is also available on http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/notepad-plus/index.php?title=Releases, with the possibility of a small delay needed to gather and reformat release information. BTW I'm going to update it within 15 minutes.
Since version 6 major, Notepad++ cannot type Thai character.
Could you provide more detail and screenshots?
Hello Don,
just to inform you about a bug I've reported here: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3531518&group_id=95717&atid=612382
Thank you
Hello Don,
i like it, the best editor
one little thing to make it better is:
you can save the session to load next time, you store positions and many other things, but if you set a file for "Read-Only" right mouseclick on the tab or in the Doc Switcher, this is lost. Everytime i start my session, i have to set my files for this flag. I use often the replace function over all files, and if i dont set the orginal files to "Read-Only" this files are all changed.
I think this is a little change in the config or session file
Thank you
Incorrectly spelled in the Cyrillic documents with encoding UTP-8 without BOM on Windows 8 Realese Preview.
For me there should be a new checkbox named Reverse match or something. I found some regexp ^((?!my string).)*$ but I can understand it. The reverse match check box will be very helpful. The simple
if(ResultOfMatch ^ !InvertMatchCheckBox.Checked) // xor operation
Is there edit button? It should like this
if(ResultOfMatch ^ InvertMatchCheckBox.Checked) // xor operation HighlightLine();
v6.1.3 clickable links in .txt don't work anymore, in v6.1.2 they work
When I try to resize the bottom box with "search all files" results, it throws this exception:
It was OK before I installed Windows 8 Release Preview x64, not sure if it's related.
Hi Don,
search window is now without refresh. Open find window with Transparency on, change to the result window (no window is docked) the content of the find winow is lost. change the mouse over all parts from the find window and you will see the correct content, this is on XP SP3
Hello Don,
Sorry I post is slow. Here is screenshot

and sorry for my post. I cannot edit it.
Thanks for your great editor!
I found a little bug in the tabs. When I have a lot of tabs, they go to 2 lines. But when I remove some tabs to fit it on 1 line, the space that was used for this 2nd line doesn't go away.
I didn't notice this behavior in a previous version.
When I resize the window (maximize and back), the space is removed.
I use v6.1.3 unicode (win7 sp1 x64, dutch)

Great great editor!
I notice that since the last release 6.1.3, opening or switching from one XML file to another take a really long time now.
I reverse to the previous version 6.1.2 and it's fine.
I'm using Notepad++ with Windows XP 32 bits and have the XML tool plugin installed.
My XML files are big. Average size is 10000 lines, with a lot of tags.
When I open an xml file with the following text in it, all the text after line 3 is grey (not color coded).
If I shorten the parameter file="" in the script on line 3 with 7 characters or more everything works again.
Have the same problem with Notepad 2 so I think its a bug in Scintilla :(
<groupdef id="two.info.seeker">  or use any other tag name, it works.
What's interesting, is that actually, if you look at the style information when the text is "uncoloured" (you can do this in Python Script - see note later), then the text is actually "styled" (as in, it's recognised the tags and so on), they're just using different style numbers, probably to highlight the fact that the script tag is "incorrectly" closed (according to HTML). I believe the XML and HTML langauges share a lexer, or are at least based on the same thing.
Unfortunately the style information is hard coded into N++, as well as in the stylers.xml, so just adding to the stylers.xml might not be enough. If you want to have a go (I've not checked the source, so I don't know if it will work), you basically need to add styles 46, 41 and 48. Try editing the stylers.xml outside of N++ and see if that helps.
From the python script console, using the following command will give you 50 bytes of style information:
editor.getStyledText(editor.getCurrentPos(), editor.getCurrentPos() + 50)
I'm kinda looking at providing a new interface to the styling information, so that everything is customisable, and there's nothing hard coded, but it's about number 4 on a todo list with 2 big items at 1 and 2 :)
v6.1.3 does not auto resize Tab Bar height when tab bar from 2 lines to 1 line.
OS: Windows 7
Perferences: Multi-line checked
thanks. :)
Line nuber column does not resize on regions collapsing.
I confirm the problem with typing non-latin character (like cyrillic). Instead of cyrillic I get umlauts: "ìàìà ìûëà ðàìó". This is in Windows 8 preview, don't know about Windows 7.

Although you have not read about them in the sports section, the team was started three years ago and consists of 11- and 12-year-old boys playing competitive baseball on a national level. This years roster is a combination of the 2002-2003 diocesan champions and the HBQVB all-stars. Surprisingly, this team was compiled without adding one penny to last years payroll.
The Saint Gregorys Patriots will be representing this community July 10 in the national tournament at Cooperstown Dreams Park. As spring arrives, these boys will be practicing their craft and working to raise funds to offset some of the travel and tournament costs.
Should you see these boys having a car wash or providing any other services to the community, we ask for your support in their endeavors.

In computational fluid dynamics, visualization is a frequently used tool for data evaluation, understanding of flow characteristics, and qualitative comparison with flow visualizations originating from experiments. Building on an existing visualization software system that allows for a careful selection of state-of-the-art visualization techniques and some extensions, it became possible to present various features of the data in a single image. The visualization shows vortex position and rotation as well as skin-friction lines, experimental oil-flow traces, shock-wave positions, and time surfaces. Animation provides a natural perception of flow in combination with an abstract representation of phenomena. By adding experimental flow visualization, a comparison between numerical simulation and wind-tunnel flow becomes possible up to a high level of detail. Since some of the underlying algorithms are not yet described in detail in the visualization literature, some experiences gained from the implementation are illustrated. The dedicated techniques which are illustrated in this paper address specific properties of vector quantities in the flow field, such as the velocity vector or the friction vector. Image complexity is reduced by employing complex visualization methods. Thus, the room is created which is necessary to study the interaction of various phenomena

Train-the-Trainer is intended for companies who want to bring The Manufacturing Game® into their facilities and use their own personnel to facilitate workshops. This is a good alternative for middle to large size companies that intend to have the majority of their employees participate in a TMG workshop. It is also a good option for sites that require considerable travel by Manufacturing Game facilitators to reach them.
How It Works
The Train-the-Trainer sessions are held on an in-house basis for 3 to 6 people at a time. Each person being trained must participate in a 2 day TMG workshop prior to the five day facilitator training course. All training material required to become a facilitator is included in this course. Participants will learn the moves in the game, the lessons behind the simulation, various strategies and their results and how to empower people to take action to eliminate defects and make a sustainable organizational change.
After the five day training class the participants will conduct a two day Manufacturing Game workshop at their own site in order to become certified. Once certified each facilitator will be in a position to conduct workshops using The Manufacturing Game® material with other certified facilitators at their site.

Contractor: Mathematica Policy Research, Inc.; Vanderbilt University
Background/Research Questions:
The Teacher Incentive Fund (TIF) is authorized by Title V, Part D of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) and annual appropriations acts. The purpose of the TIF program is to develop and implement performance-based compensation systems (PBCSs) for teachers, principals, and other personnel in high-need schools.
Research indicates that high quality teachers are critical to raising student achievement in low-performing schools, but schools most in need often have difficulty in attracting and retaining high-quality teachers. Performance pay is a policy promoted by the TIF program to improve the quality of educators in high-need schools. This evaluation studies performance pay that provides substantial and differentiated bonus pay to high-performing educators in low-performing schools with high-need students. The study will address the following:
The evaluation effort includes two separate teams: the implementation team to support fidelity of implementation to each grantee's proposed PBCS consistent with the evaluation study, and the evaluation team to rigorously study the PBCS policy. Study schools were randomly assigned within a grant to either implement all components of the performance based compensation system (PBCS) or the PBCS with a 1% across-the board bonus instead of the differentiated effectiveness incentive component of the PBCS. Data collection includes a district survey of all 2010 TIF grantees and the following data collection for schools participating in the random assignment study: teacher and principal surveys, teacher and principal school assignment records, student Record Information (such as student demographics and student test scores), and grantee interviews. Annual data collection will be used to document implementation information as well as to conduct impact analyses.
Cost/Duration: $13,700,000 over 6 1/2 years (December 2009–May 2017)
Current Status: Data analyses are underway for the third year of program implementation for a report to be released in fall 2016. The first report was released on September 16, 2014. (http://ies.ed.gov/pubsearch/pubsinfo.asp?pubid=NCEE20144019). The second report was released on September 24, 2015. (http://ies.ed.gov/pubsearch/pubsinfo.asp?pubid=NCEE20154020). Additional reports will be announced on http://ies.ed.gov/ncee.
Key Findings: The second report provides ongoing implementation information and initial impacts on student achievement and teacher retention.
The main findings among all TIF districts with 2010 awards are:
For the subset of 10 districts that agreed to participate in a random assignment study, key findings on the effect of pay-for-performance on educators include the following:

Kotter's engaging story introduces the 8 principles of problem solving. This can be used in a variety of venues from business, church, child raising, sports, etc. Kotter illustrates how the penguins, faced with a tumultuous dilemma, identified the problem, created urgency, developed a team-building structure, and stepped outside the box. Along the way, the story is entertaining and includes a diverse array of skepticism, cynicism and other challenges that we all face.
The book is also very well illustrated and can easily be read in a couple of hours. It is also readable for almost any age level and would probably make a good reading lesson for children as well. They will certainly be entertained, if not captivated by the illustrations and side notes. Well done.
An astute penguin named Fred observes that the iceberg the colony lives on is melting and that they will face potential disaster if it breaks apart in the middle of winter. He proceeds to present his findings to Alice, a member of the leadership council. Once the need for action is realized, there is no small amount of squabbling amongst the council as to next steps.
They eventually determine to let the rest of the colony know of the great risks and solicit ideas for solutions. After arriving at a creative solution through interactions with a seagull, they implement a migratory initiative to seek out new icebergs. The change is not without detractors who question the findings and argue for maintaining the status quo without addressing the risks of the melting iceberg. However, through strong leadership of the head penguin and a small action team, the penguins drove efforts to eventually relocate to a safer home.
The story has multiple examples of personalities seen commonly in organizations. There are those who are interested in arguing for the sake of arguing, the cautious, the hard driving but consensus building leaders, the creative but sometimes ignored penguins, the naysayers, those being academic in mindset but who ask tough questions, and those who just want everyone to be happy, among others.
Kotter and Rathgeber use the story to demonstrate an eight step process of successful change which includes:
1. Create a Sense of Urgency
2. Pull Together a Guiding Team
3.Read more ›
Kotter and Rathgeber offer a fable in which the central character, an Emperor Penguin named Fred, struggles without much success to convince his colony's Leadership Council that his research statistics indicate "the shrinking of the size of their home, the canals, the caves filled with water, the number of fissures, causing by [their iceberg's] melting." If they do not relocate to another iceberg soon....
What happens next is best revealed by Kotter and Rathgeber within their narrative. They are brilliant storytellers who first introduce their lead characters, and create a situation, then identify conflicts that build tension as the plot develops, until its conclusion (sort of). As with George Orwell in Animal Farm, their primary purpose, however, is not to entertain but to instruct.Read more ›

From the Duchess of Cambridge in an elegant gown to Cheryl Cole dressed as a giant Murray Mint... who won in the style stakes in 2012 - and who got it oh so wrong?
Another year of fashion fabulousness - and fashion fails - has come to an end. So as we march into 2013, it's time to look back at 2012 to see who has made our Best Dressed list - and who has flunked out in the style stakes.
Unsurprisingly, as the new queen of the design world, Victoria Beckham finds herself on the list of those who got it right. Frequently seen wearing her own dresses, the singer-turned-designer is her own best customer.
Her new, more discreet physique (saying goodbye to those breast implants was a stroke of genius) has earned her a place in the fashionista hall of fame - and her Victoria Beckham collection - despite selling for well over £1,000 for a dress - has proved to be a roaring success.
Fashion Royalty: Victoria Beckham, left, in one of her own designs, and the Duchess of Cambridge, right, in Roland Mouret, maintained their style crowns this year, blazing the way for the rest of us with subtle sexy nudes and clean lines
Joining Queen Victoria at the top of
the list is, of course, the perennially stylish Duchess of Cambridge.
Her burgeoning collection of designer outfits - the long, cream Roland
Mouret gown she wore this summer was a masterstroke, and gowns by Alice Temperley and Jenny Packham worn since have been stunning.
Barely once has the stylish duchess
put a foot wrong since marrying Wills in 2011. Indeed, even the moment
earlier this year when her hemline blew up to reveal the royal lingerie
collection saw her praised by many for her fantastic legs.
Joining them is the timelessly elegant Helen Mirren and relative newcomers and Downton Abbey babes Michelle Dockery and Joanne Froggatt.
Disgracing themselves fashion wise in 2012 were Lady Gaga in a heady array of weird and wonderful outfits, alongside less predictable culprits such as Cheryl Cole - who lost her style stripes when she stepped out looking like a giant Murray mint - Tulisa, whose pink feathered frock left her looking like a flamingo, and poor old Anne Hathaway, whose unflattering black gown - too tight at the front, too voluminous in the back, saw her flash the photographers a lot more than she - or they - bargained for at a red carpet event last month.
Downton does it right: Joanne Froggatt (right) and Michelle Dockery rocked the red carpet with elegant and reserved style while still keeping it fresh and fun
Beautiful in blue: Penelepe Cruz (left) and Helen Mirren show that it's not just women in their twenties who can carry off the latest trends while still looking sexy and stunning
Tulisa (right) rather resembles a pink flamingo in her pink feather dress, while Cheryl Cole gets it oh-so-wrong in a black and white striped top and matching trousers, complete with pink jacket and wedges
Unfortunately neither of these stars were in fancy dress despite Heidi Klum (right) making a very passable mermaid/peacock and Alesha Dixon resembling the cloudy sky
Jessie J misses the mark in a cropped tropical print jumpsuit
Madonna goes too tight, too short, too much
Nicola Roberts attempts two types of check and a snake-skin belt... and fails
Blinding: Kelly Osbourne (left) and Dame Kelly Holmes overdo the colour scheme
When stripes go wrong: Rihanna (left) and Susan Sarandon show stripes at their worst
The truly bizarre: When it comes to these outfits on Hilary Devey (left) and Lady Gaga we are lost for words...
Lost their heads: Lady Gaga (left) and Nicole Kidman try to combine feathers and flowers with their hats
Cut out errors for Anne Hathaway (left) and Nancy Dell'Olio who add to the problem with their odd puffed-out back or the not strategically enough placed gold panelling

In Prisoners, what are we supposed to make of the character of Detective Loki? Is there some symbology to his name (the trickster from Norse mythology) and all the tattoos that adorn his body?
I'm not sure if the following is sufficient as a complete answer already, but it should give some insights into how Det. Loki was intended and what he might have stood for, even if not giving too deep an analysis of his character and its meaning:
During his interview with Jake Hamilton Jake Gyllenhaal talks a bit about Det. Loki's character and what he meant to him:
There is also this review, which also presents some views on Det. Loki's character:
I think Loki primarily served as the voice of reason amongst all those other people in the story that were mostly driven by their emotions. And thus his Masonic ring for example could also have emphasized this aspect and his nature as a seeker of truth. In this way his name could indeed refer to the Norse god, when concentrating more on his intelligence and his out-of-the-box-thinking rather than his role as a trickster. Or this rather "heathen" name just helps to further distance him from all the other heavily religious characters.
It is also emphasized right from the start that he doesn't seem to have much of an actual family himself, seeing that he takes his Thanksgiving meal in an empty diner. In a story that relies on family ties and commitments to a large degree, this casts him even more as an outsider and thus as an objective observer, which in turn helps him steer clear of all the emotions involved in the case.
The tattoos, as Jake Gyllenhaal explains, emphasize his troubled past (since he "spent six years in the Huntington Boy's Home") and give him a bit of an unusual background compared to your average police detective. Yet I'm not sure if the particular tattoos have any further meaning. But Wikipedia says he has many religious tattoos, which would tie in with the many religious symbols used in the movie, as also stated in your other question. But what this says about Det. Loki I'm not sure, as I would have seen him as rather the only one not influenced by some kind of blind faith or fanaticism or otherwise unreasonable external control. But maybe he once was a more religious man in the past.

Abstract75853-Carbon cycle monitoring is a key component of the mission to understand global-scale climate change. In particular, there is a need to accurately measure atmospheric carbon dioxide levels at regular intervals, and at various altitudes and locations, using low cost and simple aerial platforms. This project will create and demonstrate an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) that will lift carbon monitoring payloads from the ground to an altitude of 10,000 feet. The high-availability UAV will be able to perform long endurance missions at low cost. Phase I will develop a concept for operations, and define the functional and technical requirements for the UAV and its supporting systems. Phase I also includes detailed payload integration studies, and an investigation of issues that surround UAV operation in the national airspace. Commercial Applications and Other Benefits as described by the awardee: The primary application of the UAV would be for stand-off monitoring of environmental parameters, such as the atmospheric distribution of key gases, aerosols, radiation studies, global albedo, etc. In addition, the UAVs could be used for radiological, biological, and chemical threat monitoring for military and homeland security applications. Lastly, the UAVs could serve as communications nodes for emergency situations, and could be used to monitor wildfires, crops, weather, and traffic.

I am heading to Negril for a week with my girlfriend and would like some suggestions on places to eat and things to do while on vacation. We are staying at a hotel on 7 mile beach and this is not an all inclusive as we like to try different restaurants and mingle with the locals. We enjoy great happy hours, great food and beautiful sunsets. We are in our late 40's/early 50's so tend to be in bed by midnight. Am looking for some suggestions on things we should not miss on our trip.

Near town, out from the round-about, eat at Sweet Spice. Heading out of town towards the cliifs Canoe is very good.
Up on the Cliffs for an elegant/casual dinner go to Ivan's at Catcha Falling Star. For the best food on the Cliffs have a meal at Sips and Bites, very casual, no alcohol, but you can bring your own Red Stripe if you like.
Down on the beach the restaurant at Charela Inn is good (high end, french food, with local music and entertainment certain nights).
You're probably not going to be "mingling with locals" much at any of these but perhaps somewhat at Sweet Spice or Sips and Bites.

More restaurants to try on the cliffs:
THREE DIVES: Cliff side of the road. Think of it as a step up from an outdoor picnic. Grilled lobster, chicken, beer, wooden tables set up outside.
CHICKEN LAVISH: Opposite side of the cliff road. One of our favorites in Negril. Very low-key. GREAT fried chicken, homemade conch soup, fresh fruit drinks, beer.
ROCKHOUSE: Cliff side of the road. Gorgeous restaurant with unbelievable views, so-so food, interesting bar scene. Go at sunset for the fresh fruit daiquiris or other drinks. Dinner is OK, but expensive.
On the beach:
BEST OF THE WEST: Tiny roadside jerk chicken stand opposite IDLE AWHILE. Good for lunch or takeout if you want to eat on the beach or in your room.
ALFREDS: We've only gone there for the reggae music, but it's a fun place to go. I think they have food, but I don't remember eating there.
COCO LA PALM: Next to IDLE AWHILE- has one of the best breakfasts on the beach. OK lunch ( typical fare: grilled chicken, jerk, hamburgers) at the bar. SKIP dinner!!!
Other activities:
Definitely take a snorkeling trip out to the reef if you're interested. It's beautiful, and last time there was a lot to see! You can arrange this through the front desk of almost any hotel on the beach. I would recommend going through the hotel unless you get a direct recommendation for another vendor through this forum or other guests.
Have a great time!

ART IN REVIEW; Carmen Herrera
By HOLLAND COTTER
Published: July 24, 1998
'The Black Paintings, 1951-1989'
El Museo del Barrio
1230 Fifth Avenue, at 104th Street
East Harlem
Through Oct. 11
Carmen Herrera, now 83, first studied art in her native Cuba, then made a series of fruitful excursions elsewhere. In New York in the early 1940's, she was a friend of Barnett Newman and Leon Polk Smith. Living in Paris from 1948 to 1954 (the same years, coincidentally, that Ellsworth Kelly was there), she settled on her mature style, an abstract art of quietly jazzy linear patterns.
Most of Ms. Herrera's work has been brightly colored. But throughout her career she has periodically produced paintings entirely in black and white, of which nearly two dozen examples have been gathered for this show, organized by Carolina Ponce de Leon.
Early pieces from the 1950's, with their off-register fields of stripes and bars, are prescient of Minimalism and Op Art. Later paintings tend toward simpler, symbolically suggestive forms. ''Escorial'' (1974), for example, includes references to the architectural design of the Spanish royal palace near Madrid and to the traditional symbol of the martyred St. Lawrence, an iron grill.
Like so much Constructivist-based abstraction (that of Lygia Clark in Brazil is another Latin American example), Ms. Herrera's work gives geometry both an optical charge and a meditative, metaphorical weight. She didn't pull painting in the radical conceptual directions that Clark did, but she occupies an honorable place in postwar geometric painting, and this fine show should help to secure it. HOLLAND COTTER

Google Says Web Search Service in China Operating Normally
SAN FRANCISCO -- Google Inc. said Thursday its Internet services in China are functioning properly after a minor overnight disruption.
A company Web site still indicated that its search engine and advertising platform was being fully blocked in China, while its images and news services were only partially accessible within the country.
But a Google representative said the Web site, which summarizes the accessibility to Google services from within mainland China, may have overestimated the level of service disruption.
"Because of the way we measure accessibility in China, it's possible that our machines could overestimate the level of blockage," the representative said. "That seems to be what happened last night when there was a relatively small blockage. It appears now that users in China are accessing our properties normally."
The company also said that the website, which summarizes the accessibility of Google services in China, is not a real-time tool.
The blockage appeared to be the first significant disruption of Google services since the company was granted a key license renewal earlier this month that enabled it to continue operating its website in China.
The renewal was granted after the company reached a compromise with Chinese regulators that diffused a standoff over censorship requirements. As part of that compromise, the company's mainland Chinese Web page offers only a limited selection of services to Internet users, such as music search, product search and its translation tool, all of which Google is not required to censor.
China's blocking mechanisms are often unpredictable and can vary by region, and experts say the ambiguity works in the censorship systems favor because users often don't know or can't be sure why or how a website is being filtered.
For the past few weeks, Google's search feature that "suggests" queries to users as they begin typing letters in the search box has been fully blocked. That feature is popular in China because typing out Chinese characters takes longer than other languages.
Google Chief Executive Eric Schmidt previously said the Internet search company was at the mercy of the Chinese government, even after it renewed Google's license to operate in China earlier this month.
"Our operations in China are completely at the discretion of the Chinese government. I don't want anyone to be confused about that," Mr. Schmidt said earlier this month.
After complaining it had been hit with a cyber attack originating from China, Google in March stopped removing material from its results that the government found objectionable. Google then began redirecting queries from its mainland China site to a non-censoring version of its search engine hosted in Hong Kong. Google stopped the automatic redirect two weeks ago after the Chinese government indicated it wouldn't renew its license if the company continued the practice.
Google's Chinese site, google.cn, now requires visitors to click on an image to be redirected to the Hong Kong site for web searches.
While Google doesn't censor its Hong Kong site, the government takes measures to limit access to certain content on the Internet. And other Google services, such as video site YouTube, have long been blocked by China.
The turmoil has caused Google to lose market share to its chief rival, Baidu Inc., BIDU 1.71 % which has long been the no. 1 search engine in China. Baidu's share of the search market grew six percentage points in the second quarter to 70%, according to Beijing-based research firm Analysys International. Google's market share fell by about the same amount, to 24%.
Shares in Google were off 0.8%, at $480.99 in after-hours trading Thursday. The stock is off 22% so far this year but has gained 6.8% in the last month.
